Japan - November 2012

Yup, under any western or Workshirt (or shacket). IMO, If you roll up the sleeves and let the Henley sleeves peek out, it looks tough as fuck.
nice, thanks
-
Yes black would be my choice as well…can't wait for these to go live
-
Trucker jacket (as per above), out of brown reverse out (and prob a few other leathers)
Yes, I know you can do one of those for me no probs.
But can you stop coming up with all this temptation until the UK's economy recovers.
Oh, and the beige, grey and white weft denim all looks fantastic too.

I think a lot of the henleys on the market today are also mid or outer layers, no? The new IH waffle one looks like it could go either way. Straight on the skin or over a light Hanes-like t-shirt. But there are other slightly thicker versions (non waffle) out there that would be less appropriate as a true bottom layer. Anyway, looks like an awesome henley!
-
I like the look of the waffle as it looks more rugged than say some of the cleaner looking styles. In my eyes when I wear a waffle henley I feel like it can carry the look by itself.

Ohhhh…plate buckle...come to daddy...
JSJ, I am right there with you man. Missed out on the first style/run, so this is a welcomed addition.
Those henleys are damn awesome too.

I still look after The Flat Head business for a few retailers around the world. One of them is VMC, they Roger and Co have never been to Flat Head HQ in Nagano, so we decided to put that right this time. Internet coverage has been patchy to say the least….
We take the Shinkansen to Nagano and then go straight out for Soba noodle lunch.
This guy was sitting a few tables away, loved hid jacket
After lunch it was off to Stockburg (where much of The Flat Head Leather stuff is made)
Pile of belts
Roger was made one as a present in the summer, here is the belt and the original concept,,
Then he decided he needed another, so we sketched out a design
After looking at how all the leather goods are made, we popped upstairs to look at an impressive collection of Union Specials. Brigitte was not interested so stayed outside. Five minutes later we came down the stairs to find her being comprehensively grilled by the police. A foreigner in Nagano was worthy of stopping the car for questioning, then when she could not speak Japanese and seemed to lost, the police got very concerned….Out of the 6 of us, Brigitte is definitely the least likely to be stopped and questioned by the police, so it made for a few laughs....
We then hit Googies (part if the Flat Head empire) for dinner…
Then back to the hotel…
